How I reclaimed my curiosity

Curiosity-fueled learning and creative thinking are becoming the most important traits to thrive in the 21st century. Yet we have a school system that numbs curiosity and kills creativity.
Carl tells us how he reclaimed his own curiosity by "hacking himself". He is now using this insight to make technology more fun, engaging and accessible in the 21st century classroom.

Breaking Currents

On May 17th 2013 TEDxCopenhagen hosted a salon event focused on technology at Ingeniørhuset in Copenhagen to place technology much higher on the agenda. The event was titled: ”Breaking Currents” – an expression reflecting both hydrologic flow and electrical current as well as contemporary trends.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.

Our event is called TEDxCopenhagen, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxCopenhagen event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.

The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
